EVERGREENS 
Evergreens present a broad opportunity for plant lovers to produce rich and beautiful effects that 
cannot be surpassed by any other class of plants. Evergreens are used for specimens on lawns, also 
extensively for massing, shelterbelts, screens, hedges, etc. Many varieties adapt themselves and are 
indispensable in your foundation planting. They form perfect backgrounds for the flowering shrubs 
of early spring, for the berries of autumn and winter’s tracery of bright bark and twigs. Beautiful 
beds of permanent color are formed by grouping together sorts of moderate growth, with contrasting 
foliage. 
To be successful in planting evergreens, the planter should use great care to obtain stock that has 
been frequently transplanted while growing to insure a thick, fibrous root system. We are very careful 
to offer only such stock as will measure up to these very important requirements, thereby saving our 
customers from disappointment. 
In the larger size Evergreens it is necessary, for the best results, to ball and burlap the roots. This 
consists of digging the trees and wrapping the roots in a solid ball of dirt. 
We keep a large assortment of evergreens in our sales yard, dug fresh every day, and consequently, 
it is not necessary to go out into the fields to select your trees. 
Red Cedar 
DOUGLAS (Pseudotsu- 
ga douglasi)—A rapid 
grower that thrives well 
in almost any location. 
JUNIPERS 
ANDORRA (Juniperus 
communis depressa 
pl umosa)-—A very line 
dwarf pro strate J uniper. 
Especially attractive in 
the late fa 11 and winter 
when the needles turn 
a bright brown. 
BLACK HILLS CREEP¬ 
ING—A very desirable 
dwarf for rock gardens 
and border planting, 
also for covering slopes. 
ARBORVITAE 
AMERICAN (Thuja 
occidentalis) — 
Does well in a sunny 
location, but will 
stand some shade, a 
moist location is pre¬ 
ferred. 
GLOBE (Thuja occi¬ 
dentalis globosa)— 
A globe-shaped Ar- 
borvitae which does 
not require pruning 
to retain its shape. 
This variety is slow 
growing and can be 
used to advantage 
planted on either side 
of the entrance to a 
dwelling. They may 
also be planted in 
large pots. 
GOLDEN (Thuja oc¬ 
cidentalis aurca)— 
It forms a broad, 
bushy pyramid, very 
similar in outline to the American A. V. Tips of 
branches are bright yellow. They add a note of 
contrast among the green of other trees. 
PYRAMIDAL (Thuja occidentalis pyramid- 
alis)—Undoubtedly the most popular form of 
Arborvitae today. This tree fills a real need in 
landscaping and has a place of importance in 
practically every evergreen planting. Thrives 
best in a south or east exposure. 
SIBERIAN (Thuja occidentalis ivareana)— 
A symmetrical, compact grower, very long 
lived. A dwarf, broad pyramidal tree. 
FIR 
CONCOLOR (Abies concolor)—As an orna¬ 
mental tree, Concolor Fir is excellent, the 
general outline being symmetrical but without 
stiffness. We obtain our seed from northern 
Colorado, which 
produces trees of 
absolute hardi¬ 
ness, with striking 
foliage varying in 
color from light 
green to deep soft 
blue.
